There’s always been a 2-tier system, through all nations and all times.
One of my favorite parts of Noble House, set in 1840s Hong Kong, was a Chinese guy disgusted with the English notion of “equal under the law”. “Of course there are different laws for the rich and poor! Why else would I strive to be rich?!”

I think on that now and again.
“Some day I might be rich, and then people like me better watch their step!”
It’s like a 100-tier system. Society is hierarchical.
I tried many, many times to read Noble House, but it was too long for me to get through it.
Anywho, if I remember, wasn’t it set in the twentieth century?
